The British are back!
Join the revolution and declare your independence this summer at the American Village in Montevallo. Visitors will be fully immersed and engaged in programs designed to highlight America’s journey for independence, liberty and self-government. Step back in time to the founding era of our nation, led by a passionate staff of costumed historical interpreters.
Meet patriots of the past such as Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Phillis Wheatley, Eliza Hamilton, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Martha Washington.
Discover the West Wing of Independence Hall with its multi-sensory experience and film “Choosing to be an American People.” Explore the distinctive American Village campus, which includes more than 20 historically-inspired buildings on 188 acres.
Play Colonial games, learn about apothecary medicine in the herb garden, see a lighthearted puppet show and so much more. Visitors of all ages will enjoy family-friendly activities, both indoors and outside. The American Village is open to the public in June and July from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday (excluding July 4-5).
The summer season kicks offs with an American Arts & Crafts Fair June 2-3, and food trucks will be onsite every Saturday. On July 4, celebrate Independence Day 1776 with all-day red, white and blue family fun, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display at twilight’s last gleaming.
